This seems like a lot of work for the Admins to fix a problem that doesn't exist
Everything with computers is a lot of work. After a while, when you've done it a lot, it doesn't become so much effort. The thing that is being fixed isn't even to resolve any issue described in the thread, it's simply to make a workaround in to a legit fix. It could also potentially speed the site up by a millionth of a percent
.Anything that gives end users a choice is worth a small amount of effort (if you're that kind of person). Even if the people it appeases are in the minority. It depends on if you give people choice because it's fun, it's a challenge, because you want to give people choice or even to make the site more popular with the minority of people that are against homophobia/sexism/profanity or even just to make it marginally more family friendly.
It's not a problem, it's life, and life has a lot of potential fixes, solutions and annoyances. Wouldn't it be nice if you complained to HMRC about the length of time you were on hold and they actually *shock horror* did something about it rather than saying that the other 90% of people didn't complain so it's not an issue (yes I know that isn't a great example). I made a suggestion, it's not going to be taken up. It doesn't mean you can't talk about it or other site related issues even if the thread goes off-topic.
